The decision reportedly comes amid
concerns about Israel's push to invade
the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
We’ve been very clear …
from the very beginning
that Israel shouldn’t launch
a major attack into Rafah
without accounting for and
protecting the civilians that
are in that battlespace, Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.
We’ve not made a final
determination on how
to proceed with that
shipment [of weapons], Lloyd Austin, United States Defense Secretary, via Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera reports that the paused shipment included
1,800 bombs weighing approximately 2,000 lbs each,
and another 1,700 bombs weighing about 500 lbs each.

massive amounts of humanitarian

In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin reiterated his “unwavering commitment” to Israel’s security on Wednesday and said Washington would come to its defense if needed, hours after Hamas’s political leader Ismail Haniyeh was killed in Iran early Wednesday, in a targeted assassination attributed to Israel. Haniyeh was assassinated in the early hours of the morning after having traveled from his home in Qatar to Tehran to attend the swearing-in ceremony for the country’s new president Masoud Pezeshkian.

Al Jazeera reports that India is quietly supplying weapon components to Israel during the Gaza conflict, despite advocating for peaceful resolutions. Two cargo ships carrying explosives from India to Israel were identified. India and Israel collaborate on missile production and drone manufacturing. Indian companies like Premier Explosives Limited and Adani Defence & Aerospace are involved. This arms trade contrasts with India's public stance of supporting dialogue over military action, potentially complicating its diplomatic position.

The Biden administration has released approximately half of the shipment of heavy bombs that had been withheld from Israel since May, according to a US official speaking to The Times of Israel. The decision to withhold the bombs was initially made due to concerns that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) would use them in densely populated areas of Gaza, potentially causing mass-civilian casualties. In May, the White House announced it would withhold a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. President Joe Biden warned that additional offensive weaponry would be frozen if Israel launched a major military offensive in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, where over one million Palestinians were sheltering at the time.

Prime Minister Netanyahu indicates this marks the end of intense fighting, though the war continues. Some Israeli officials express frustration at Hamas's ability to regroup in cleared areas. The change may lead to negotiations with Hezbollah in Lebanon. Questions remain about the effectiveness of this new strategy and its impact on Gaza's humanitarian situation.

Hamas has rejected the final round of negotiations mediated by the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt for a ceasefire and hostage deal, heightening tensions in the Gaza conflict. The rejection undermines efforts by the Biden administration to broker peace. Yahya Sinwar, the Hamas leader in Gaza, might be planning further resistance or leveraging the situation for better terms, possibly anticipating or coordinating with broader regional actions involving Iran or Hezbollah. This move adds uncertainty to an already volatile situation

In a significant escalation of hostilities, US and UK coalition forces carried out an airstrike on Kamaran Island in Yemen's Hodeidah Governorate on Monday, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Yemen. This latest aggression comes as part of a broader campaign aimed at curbing Yemeni support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood battle. The airstrike on Kamaran Island, strategically located in the Red Sea, is the latest in a series of attacks targeting Yemeni territory. These assaults have led to numerous casualties, yet they have not deterred the Yemeni Armed Forces from continuing their operations against Israeli positions in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Yemeni forces have also established a formidable deterrent presence at sea, targeting vessels en route to occupied ports, further intensifying the conflict.

Hezbollah has unleashed a massive rocket attack on an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division. The assault is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon and is also intended to show support for Palestinians in Gaza. With Israel’s Iron Dome failing to intercept most of the missiles, the attack has sparked a major fire in Galilee and intensified the conflict. Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed to defend Lebanon and avenge recent assassinations of key figures. Watch to see how this escalation might affect the region.

Israeli television has broadcast disturbing CCTV footage that allegedly shows Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev region. The video, which has sparked widespread outrage, shows dozens of prisoners lying face down with their hands on their heads, while one prisoner is led away to a secluded corner where the alleged abuse takes place. The footage reveals three soldiers using shields to obscure their actions from view, while a military dog on a lead barks fiercely just a metre away from the detainee. The incident, which reportedly occurred in July, has drawn severe criticism from international bodies and governments.
